What the hell is going on? I get the 2nd card is in the middle and cant breathe, but i have 3x200MM fans blowing and the HAF case is made just for air flow, any ideas?

I got my new 3x 5830 system up last night and ran into the same problem.
Can somebody suggest how to cool these? Here's my setup
I added a 20-24'' box fan behind the setup but it didn't do much to help the temps. One of the cards is around 65-70 and the other 2 are high 80's low 90's.
I'm also interested in how I should overclock all of them together.
Thanks.
Trixx will only overclock one of the cards, due to the fact, that It would only pair profiles if the card's are Crossfired. I used ATI Tray Tools.
How were you able to change both cards in ATI Tray Tools? I can only seem to change the card in position 0, and I have the same Sapphire 5830 as you. The cards don't have a crossfire bridge on them, which I'm assuming is what you're doing too, since crossfire doesn't help btc mining.
I would also love to know how you can overclock multiple 5830s as I read Trixx only does one.

1005/300 stock voltage 65c stable. Hitting 310mhash/sec with phoenix and the following attributes:
"-k poclbm DEVICE=1 VECTORS AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP"
Tried lots of combinations, that seemed to be the best. SDK 2.1 w/ 11.5 Cat drivers on Windows 7 64bit.

Still stable at 1015/300 55c with 80% fan. squeeked out a few more mhash.. staying over 300 now. changed some extra flags -v -w256 -f5. also turned off aero and other fancy windows stuff. still able to surf the net read the forums etc with some lag. vista64, guiminer.
im doing 300 mhashes for each 5830 card via xfx or sapphire with phoenix -phatk.
now on my testbed machine, HAF 922 with 3x sapphire 5830s, check out the temps:
1st card (Top) 73 celcius
2nd card (Middle) 87 celcius
3rd card (Bottom) 65 celcius

I have a similar issue w/ two cards, but not so bad. I have to have my sound card squeezed between my two 5830's so the top card has little airflow. I just open the case up and put a small floor fan angled to blow air out the back... works wonders. Probably doesn't even cost a whole lot more in electricity either, since you can lower the fan speed on your cards quite a bit. Like when my cards were running 63o/72o, that floor fan dropped them to 60o/64o within a minute. Just like some $15 fan or something that doesn't draw a huge amt of power.
The highest I've ever gotten on my 5830 was ~330 (1050 core). That only lasted about a few minutes before it froze though, haha. It'll run "stable" at 1030 core as long as I do absolutely nothing else with my computer, at about 318-319.
for me the best settings in phoenix are VECTORS BFI_INT AGRESSION=11 and that is it 
no -w 256 or 128, no fastloop
at 950/400 i'm getting 291Mhash
no -w 256 or 128, no fastloopat 950/400 i'm getting 291Mhash
Interesting... Is GUIminer holding me back?
i am stable at -v -w128 1015/300 stock voltage 55c 85% fan 290Mhash. old cheap ass case with 1 good case fan. i will push this card more tomorrow any ideas on getting more Mhash out of it? multicard setup should go together tomorrow afternoon

you can try -v -w128 -r2 -f1, but your machine will become unusable
Try Phoenix miner, play around with the settings. In GUI Miner I was able to get 304/s running at 1000/300, what else do you have running? Any maybe cards are getting hot?

The HOT back of hte PCB of card 3 is right on top of the intake of the Sapphire Card 2
Card 3 Is Breathing Good and, top is getting ambient temps from card 2.
The bizzare thing I found with Sapphires Cooling system is it exhausts out both back and front. Very odd.
Perhaps invest in a PCIe Riser?

Thanks, never used a PCI-E riser before, ill give it a try, but that means its going to have to sit somewhere else
bah humbug!BTW, how many cards you running to get 1,200 mhash/s?
I have to run 2 xfx 5830 and 2 sapphire 5830s, all running 301 mhash each 975/340

I have one rig with 2 5830s and just ordered my second with 4 of them...
The two I have were unstable anytime I tried to clock above 970, or memory below its normal 1000... what gives... how are you guys able to OC them so high and they last for days. (shrug)

Make sure when your dropping the memory, between 400-600 the card is extremely unstable. The Sapphire 5830, has a power save mode, which underclocks the card to 157/400 I think. ** I know the Core Clock speed is for sure, not the memory clock speeds in powersave mode **
Drop the memory clock all the way down to 300, make sure that the card is running above the powersave 0.9V
MSI Afterburner - Can't do it ** not that I know of anyway **
If your using ATI Tray Tools, set the Voltage profile from 0.9 to 1.163 then save the core clock somewhere between 800-1000 or where every you want, and the memory down to 300
If you bump the core above 828 I found that the card hardlocks using the 0.9V card profile.
Start by adjusting it at 5MHz increments and test for a couple minutes mining, making sure you keep your temps below 80C. You can run the Temps higher, but its not recommended for long term use, especially 24/7 100% utilization lol
When the card starts to studder back it off by 20MHz, then start playing with the AGGRESSION and WORKSIZE and other RPC Miner options.
It takes some playing around with to find the sweet spot for the card in your system, but when you find that hotspot, she's good to go for a long time
, unless some fails of course I have one rig with 2 5830s and just ordered my second with 4 of them...

different brands overclock differently. Almost everyone posting the 300+ scores is using the Sapphire card that newegg had on sale for $99-109.
The two I have are sapphires, the ones from newegg...

with new difficulty i am running my sapphire 5830 at 950/400 with 73C right now... seems stable and gives 290MHashs... don't want to go higher
I must be going something wrong. Every time I use Afterburner or trixx to move the Memory clock at all (anything below its default) the whole system freezes and I have to hard reset.
Have you tried waiting about 20seconds after the screen freezes? Sometimes its just a driver crash, unless the screen goes black as well.
I'm trying to overclock my quad Sapphire 5830's with Trixx, yet my changes are only being applied to my 4th gpu. Synchronize cards in multi-gpu configuration is checked in the trixx settings, but doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
A lot of people are using cases with more spacing (or no case at all), so they can leave empty slots between the double-wide cards.
Have you manually ramped that hot card to 100% fan? It's noisy, but it might help you out. You can also clock it differently than your other two, and spend that juice/cooling on bumping the cooler ones.
I'd imagine a good balance would be where all three temps even out at a level you're comfortable with.

That's a good idea. I've messed with the clock rates/mem rates, but it applies it to all 3 cards, need to remove sync.
I couldn't find any mobos out there that have enough space to fit 3 cards + leaving room between cards, this is about 1/2 inch apart if any from each-other.
I've ramped it up to 90%, but I dont want to do 100% if im running 24/7 because the amount of cycles in a fan (itll die on short notice if I do 100% compared to 80/90%) More in it for the long run than short, Ill mess with the middle card clock rates, thanks again buddy!

You've got it, that middle card can't breathe. If the different cards have different types of blowers, might be worth switching up the order.
They are all duplicate cards, 3x sapphire 5830's. Such a waste if I can get these 3 working. Im doing fine 2x on each machine for 2 machines, but this 3rd rig wont work, 83+ now, totally need to figure something out. How the hell are people shoving 3-4 cards in a case?
